Hi All

I would like to asign 2 buttons on my new Sitek Cessna yoke for Master switch ENG 1+2 for Airbus Extended

is there any way how to acomplish this?

Hi

You may have to do it through FSUIPC.

Hi,

As stated by Steve you will need FSUIPC registered version.

The fast way:

Create a macro file inside "your FSX installation folder"\Modules, call it whatever you want with the following file extension .mcro, for instance 320AAX.MCRO, starting the filename with a number will make it easier to find defined macros as they will be listed on top of FS Control dropdown list.

Inside that file insert this

[Macros]
1=L:AB_PDS_Eng1Master=Set
2=L:AB_PDS_Eng2Master=Set
3=L:AB_PDS_ignition=Set

and save the file, beware that some text editors will add .txt to the end of the file name and in that case the file will not be read by FSUIPC.

I have added Engine mode selector lvar (AB_PDS_ignition).

Start the flightsim, go to Add-ons, FSUIPC, choose button + switches tab assignments, change the switch you want to assign to the on position, choose Select for FS Control on the right side, below under "Control sent when button pressed" list, choose one those three new assignments (they should be there on the top of the list), choose the assignment you want to configure and in the parameter box choose 1, below choose the same control under "Control sent when button released" and fill the parameter box with 0 (zero).

If instead of a switch you are referring to a pushbutton replace "=Set" by "=Toggle" in each of the above macros.

When using toggle commands there is no need to send any parameter and only "Control sent when button pressed", needs to be filled

In any case you should refer to FSUIPC documentation.

You can also go the Lua way for this, in this case I would suggest that you read FSUIPC documentation and see Lua example files that are part of FSUIPC download, there are also many examples in FSUIPC support forum.

Good luck,

Jose
